This submission has been removed because it involves current events. To keep from discussion of politics, we have a 20-year rule here. You may want to try /r/ask_politics or another current-events focused sub.

I'm not sure this is the best place for this question since it seems to be more related to current military strategy, though I could be wrong about that. At a guess, /r/Military or /r/navy might be good places to ask your question.
